You can put this solution on YOUR website! z=(x-mean)/sd
=2/1.5=1.33
so want z>1.33
you are correct.
-
Think about the second--2 hours or more a day should be just about all of them
want z>-2 and that is the complement of your answer, so you want 97.72%
-
between 2 and 7: Greater than 2 is 97.78, subtract greater than 7 which you don't want and the answer is 97.72-9.17 or 88.55% very close to yours.
